The Menu builder is where you organise your dishes, set the choices customers make and mark things as sold out. You can change your menu any time, in seconds.
Steps
- Open Products and press Add Menu Item.
- Type the dish name, price and a short description.
- Pick the menu section it belongs in. Allow special instructions if customers may ask for changes.
- Add dish labels, like vegetarian, allergens and spice level, so customers know what they're ordering. Press Add Menu Item to save.
- Open Menu builder, then the Sections tab. Press New section to create a heading and choose which dishes go in it. Customers see sections in the order you list them.
- To show a section only at certain times, like breakfast from seven to eleven, set its hours on the section.
- Open the Customizations tab and press New group to create choices like size, spice level and extras, with their own prices. Attach each group to the dishes it applies to.
- When you run out of something, open the Sold out tab and switch the dish off. Switch it back on when it returns.
Good to know
- Customers can't order a dish that is switched off.
- Kitchen staff can use the Sold out tab too, so the person at the stove can switch a dish off.
- Menu builder is only available to restaurant stores.
- Put every dish in a section, or customers may not find it on the menu.
